Laura, at the end of the day - this is your baby and your partner's baby. Nobody else gets a say apart from you 2. If someone doesn't like the name or it upsets someone then, quite plainly, fuck them.
This is your baby and your baby has to have this name for the rest of their life. As long as you pick what you are happy with, you know you've done the best you can do. Don't ever change or do anything to please anyone else, it will be you who misses out in the end xxx

Extremely well said! Haha its just hard when my mum especially is very vocal. She also keeps suggesting names which I hate then looking hurt when I say it's not really what we are looking for. Haha I'm a terrible liar so I can't just say oh yes we will consider it! Hahaha xx

Just say sorry don't like that, please stop giving me names as I will be choosing myself. My mum is not a nightmare in the slightest, but I've asked her to stop suggesting names to me cos I don't like any of them haha.
Well I threw up out the car window whilst driving to work today.. feel incredibly sick still and looking very pasty. Everyone at work (besides my manager) is concerned about me and think I should go home, but I although I really want to, I kind of don't because I feel she'll go mental about it x

That's really messed up. The manager legally can't freak out. I know they can verbally be grumpy and get on like a dick but u can whistle blow on them. Now you've informed them you are pregnant you are protected against any discrimination and they just have to suck it up for any pregnancy related illness! I know it doesn't make for a nice atmosphere but your manager already sounds like a dick xx

And this is why we are not telling anyone in the family what name we have picked. I cannot be bothered dealing with 'oh...really? And why not this or that?'

She is a dick, honestly I'm already looking into my rights etc. because I feel I am being treated unfairly. On one website I read that pregnancy discrimination also covers you if your work is starting to be scrutinised, questions and faults found - which they have been doing with me since I said I was pregnant. They are blaming me for the work not being done, moaning at me about complaints they have received. Everything is all my fault to them, when it isn't - I was off for a pregnancy related illness and they didn't cover me, I was expected to come back in and be bollocked about work not being done when I wasn't here to do it.
Last week when I had my antenatal appointments (which they asked for proof of, which they never normally do - although I've read they are entitled to do that), my manager apparently was moaning that I was off AGAIN and that I was so far behind with my work!!
A) I'm entitled to that time off
B) I'm behind because my work wasn't covered for almost 4 weeks
C) FUCK OFF!!
Someone is meant to be starting in Feb to help out, but I guarantee now that they will give her other jobs to do and she won't end up helping me out at all.
I'm fed up of being blamed for being behind. I'm fed up of feeling bad if I'm ill and really can't come in. I'm fed up of thinking I was getting more maternity pay and I'm not. I'm fed up of feeling like I'm being treated unfairly. I'm just fed up of all of it.
But I'm still coming in, doing my best and I swear if they moan at me one more time I will just lose it haha.
(sorry for my rant, bet you wish you never asked) x

I am so sorry Jem. It sounds like a super shitty place to be in right now. Just think... few more months (aarrgghhh!!!) and you won't have to see them again!... or at least you will get a break for few months. Hang in there x

I will be PB - I have to travel to this job anyway and costs so much in fuel, will literally be working just to pay for fuel and childcare when I go back to work, so I want to find something in my home town, don't care what it is!
eBay is amazing, got my pram on there £10. What pram did you manage to get I take it you have to get a double ?
OMG so exciting the gender scans are coming up! Know how you feel about it going so quick, when I look back I think omg it's gone so quick but then I also think it's going slow haha. Can't believe I found out at 3+4 and now I'm 17+3

Morning ladies. Managed to get a couple of hours sleep on the sofa this morning. Really awful nights sleep. Dan is a radiator in bed, I'm the total opposite so we have our own single duvets on the bed. We tried the split duvets that you can have thicker or thinner on either side. They always end up with a cold bit in the middle, lol. So, we've done done with our own duvets this winter. Both had great sleep. Now my bump is bigger, I'm support. The pregnancy pillow is back in the box as I just can't use it at night. It's fine for a nap, but after about 30 minutes, gives me awful neck ache. It also sticks out of the duvet which means I get fucking cold drafts. Was in tears of frustration last night as I tried normal pillows, cushions, rolled up towels, the lot. Either super uncomfortable or stupid cold drafts.
On the sofa, I can't move onto my belly which is good, it naturally holds me in a position with my back supported and bump supported by pure design. Dan is away tonight with work so I will try the bed with pillows and a big duvet and see how I get on with that...but god help anyone that pisses me off today
In fact, Jem, send your manager to Me, I could quite easily put the fear of god and all damnation in her at the moment.
Just ugh.
Hope you're all okay. Jem, go home...fuck em!

Oh my, look at you all having your gender scans! So exciting for you.
I'm going to cure my mood today by cooking loads of pies and starting on clearing out our bedroom to repaint it. We never spend much time in there, no tv or anything...it's our room for sleep, but I want a space to go and have as a little retreat for when baby is here. Either to have some me time when baby is asleep or to escape with baby when I want to get away from people. Picked a gorgeous deep green last year, just not got round to it yet.
Nursery will be next.
Hope all your scans give you everything you wish for xxx

GG we usually have a double blanket each lol, hubby like feather and I like normal, we're always fighting for covers, I like being wrapped up heh. Atm we only have 1 cos be too much on the bed if we put dd in with us don't wanna smother her.
I keep wanting to cook a pie, no clue how I bought the pastry but no clue what to put in it so it's just in the freezer (Im no good in the kitchen, I burn frozen pizzas soo yeah. I can't even make gravy just ends up like water no idea why hubby does that haha).
Will be starting dd on lunch soon luckily just have to steam/boil veggies
